  1. WI :Christian worship collapses in the USA over the 20th century. What replaces it?

    So for whatever reason Christianity collapses in the united states over the 20th century, excluding atheism and the worship of capitalism (like in the OTL), what replaces it? I could see it going from an existing religion like Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or Buddhism, though to more eccentric...

  7. AHC: Bus Culture instead of Car Culture-Based America

    Okay, so in our timeline, the United States is ridiculously dependent on cars. I cannot think of any country where personal car ownership is considered as ubiquitous or necessary as the united states, or where urban planning is as car-centric. Canada comes close, and there are some cities...

  17. Why did the Philippines not industrialise the same way South Korea did?

    I am given to understand that a large part of why South Korea is so successful today is because of U.S investments in the country and was quite poor compared to the North for a long time surrounded by Communist leaning nations(except Japan, but the atrocities committed by the Japanese in Korea...
